We had a really good meal. There was a large portion of backfin crab meat on my salad. Menu offers a wide variety at reasonable prices. Wine by the glass is a generous pour. Very friendly staff. A Gulfport must visit restaurant.

Visited Backfin Blue about 18 months ago and, to be fair, didn't give it the best of reviews......mainly due to a prime rib issue. We revisited BB very recently and think it only fair to share our experience which, this time, was wonderful. Neither of...More

I don't know if this place changed hands or what . But it was my first time here this season and in my opinion it's not quite the same. I have always bragged about how good their crab cakes were and I was very disappointed...More

My husband and I had dinner here twice, both times outdoors on the quiet covered patio. Casual restaurant with great food, good service, and friendly staff. Memorable dishes were Backfin salad with lump crabmeat and shrimp, prime rib, crabcakes, and mahi-scallop combo, all reasonably priced....More

When a restaurant gets recommended by employees of another unrelated restaurant, you know you have to try it so we did! From the outside, it looks small but there are plenty of tables inside and out. Now to the food — GREAT! Service - GREAT!...More

I have lived in the area for more than six months and this is the first time we have visited this restaurant. Don't make the same mistake as me, GET THERE RIGHT AWAY! My wife and I go to many restaurants but this was the...More

Large chunk crab cakes, super friendly service set in a charming yet funky village known as Gulfport. Gulfport is a good place to stroll after eating. This is not upscale but a porch table is an attractive setting for a fine meal.

Getting anything with crab on it will work here. They have it in plenty and don't disappoint. My son wanted pizza though and he liked it. I got this trio with lobster ravioli, bacon wrapped BBQ shrimp and a crab cake. So delicious.

Hello, We take reservations for parties of 6 more and yes we are kid friendly. We have a kids menu and outdoor seating on our deck usually gives antsy young ones some room to move around. During the summer months the chance of running into a wait for a table is less and when there is a wait it is typically short. As with any restaurant, visiting before the peak dinner hours (6:30-8:30) can also result in quicker acces to tables on otherwise busy days. Hope to see you soon!
